Welcome to the life of an ALT (assistant language teacher) in Nagasaki. I started this journal when I visited Japan in 2004 with JFMFTP, then continued it when I returned as a member of the JET Programme in 2006. Enjoy!
I just got some new fish for the summer season. At the summer festivals, children play a game called "kingyosukui" -they try to catch goldfish with a paper scoop! You don't have to work too hard to have fun with my fish, though - just move your cursor over top of their pond & click to drop them some little treats :)
Man I miss making mosaics...K-san, look at these tiles...you would have a field day in this place - look how they put tiles on top of other tiles. Our bike ride this week took us to Hasami and Arita, known for their pottery. Absolutely awesome.

A quick glance and it looks like a pile of playing cards. I take it the msaic style over there is a bit different than in the west.
That is what I thought they were too...playing cards. How very cool! I am sitting at lunch ALONE trying to keep up with all you are doing. Never a dull moment it appears. Loved the pug dog. Such a fashionista. Lots of love and Holiday Blessings are sent your way. Merry Merry Christmas, K-san
